baffled by background image with MUI

hi peeps,
first of all my compliments on such a product!!it works like a charm and I am well impressed. But (there is always one....😉 ) I am having troubles with the final aesthetical details..I wanted a background image for the installer and I added this to the script

; MUI Settings
!define MUI_ABORTWARNING
!define MUI_ICON "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico"
!define MUI_UNICON "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-uninstall.ico"
!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myGUIInit 

where:

Function myGUIInit
# the plugins dir is automatically deleted when the installer exits
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\bgimage.bmp "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\wetted_unit_cell.bmp"
BgImage::SetBg /NOUNLOAD /FILLSCREEN $PLUGINSDIR\bgimage.bmp
FunctionEnd 

Can anyone tell me where am I going wrong? no bg image is displayed when the installer starts

cheers guys
Maurizio

ps: the paths have all the backslashes in the right place but the vbulletin php BBC nuked them out!🤪

hmm.. I dont see any slashes (/) try this ...

; MUI Settings 

!define MUI_ABORTWARNING 

!define MUI_ICON "${NSISDIR}Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico" 

!define MUI_UNICON "${NSISDIR}Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-uninstall.ico" \



!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myGUIInit

where:

Function myGUIInit 

# the plugins dir is automatically deleted when the installer exits 

InitPluginsDir 

File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\bgimage.bmp "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\wetted_unit_cell.bmp" 

BgImage::SetBg /NOUNLOAD /FILLSCREEN $PLUGINSDIR\bgimage.bmp 

FunctionEnd

PS : Ignore this reply ..... !! I didnt read that good 🙂 sorry ...

TIP: You can use double backslashes "\\" to represent one when using [PHP]. But if you don't want to do that, you can use [code] (w/o the syntax highlighter).

oh ok..thanks for the tip deguix.
yep my code is exactly like VegetaSan's...but no background image is displayed. Any idea why? or I should i change it?
Thanks
Maurizio

TIP: You can't change your post after 3 hours of the posting.

TIP: [PHP] uses syntax highlighting, [code] doesn't.

ok...sorted thanks to a guy in the IRC chatroom!!!
it just needed to Redraw...after SetBg

Bye for now
